Re: RH 6.1 and printer ports = how?

[Rizwan Mohammad <rizwan clovertechnologies com>]

	In your /etc/conf.modules just add an entry like -
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc.
Then try the commands init 1 ; init 3 on a single line. Run printtool. It then
detects your printer. Otherwise reboot and run printtool.
